I think it'd be a lie to suggest that we are not excited about the prospects of a next gen Dragon Age. Even if this title no longer bears the numeric moniker of a third entry in the series, Dragon Age Inquisition still looks like a game we very, very much want to play. Above you will see the game's latest trailer, showing of some of the game's new engine as well as some of the rather enticing combat.

From this trailer we also have a new release date: October 7th, 2014. Does that day sound familiar? Well it should as Nick talked about that date a handful of weeks ago when we learned that Alien Isolation and Shadows of Mordor would be going head-to-head on that very day. Now we have a three way race that could proove quite devestating to the gamer's wallet.

Which game are you looking forward to most on October 7th?

Between those three games I'm expecting Alien: Isolation to not be so great. From what I've seen I'm not sure the appeal of that game. Then again maybe I'm just a bit sick of this Alien business in general. Shadow of Mordor on the other hand looks alright, but I don't think it's a game I'd rush out to stores to buy. Not to mention we haven't seen much on the game. I'm waiting to see the world and mission structure on that game really.So that leaves Dragon Age. Just about everything I've seen of this game looks (it has color for one) and seems to play extremely nice. The world is supposed to be a lot more open and the story of between these games, I would assume, is going to be more interesting in Dragon Age.Personally I'm thinking this is the only game that'll slip into my wallet on that day~

I wasn't really looking forward to Aliens or Shadows, at least as a day one pickup. With Witcher 3 getting pushed to 2015, my interest has increased for Dragon Age and so far the changes from Dragon Age 2 seem to be going in a good direction.

Seeing this has gotten me more excited for the game but of the three games coming out on October 7, I think I'm leaning more towards Alien Isolation first. I just really want a good Alien game and the fact that it isn't a shooter has me even more interested. I really am interested in Shadows of Mordor but we really haven't seen too much about it yet.

Neither Shadows of Mordor or Alien sounded particularly exciting but I've been waiting for a new RPG for a while and DA2 was actually enjoyable so this seems to be a better game altogether. This seems to be a great time for RPGs with Dark Souls 2 and the coming Lords of the Fallen, Witcher 3 and DA:I.
